Saturday, April 18, 2015 by Lolli 3 Comments

I’m sharing how my daughters and I stay active thanks to Playtex® Sport® as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #PlaytexSportSquad. All thoughts, opinions, and stories are my own. I remember when I was younger (during those blissfully naive and free pre-motherhood days) I thought that being a mom meant teaching my kids…

Friday, April 17, 2015 by Lolli 4 Comments

I had the opportunity to see an early screening of Disneynature’s Monkey Kingdom while in Los Angeles last week with Disney and Marvel. Travel and accommodations were covered, but all thoughts are my own. I remember watching nature shows when I was younger. They were the original reality tv…and I still think that the…

I know what you’re probably thinking. Didn’t she JUST post about going to Los Angeles Zoo? Yes, I did. And then, after my #AvengersEvent #MonkeyKingdom trip was over, I drove down to San Diego to spend a couple of days with family. Apparently, I didn’t get enough of zoo animals (and let’s face…

I visited the L.A. Zoo last week right after a screening of Disneynature’s Monkey Kingdom while on a press trip with Disney and Marvel.

It’s a late night. I’ve flown across the country, attended the very first screening of the new Avengers: Age of Ultron, and now I desperately need to sleep. But first…2 night time pictures from Legends Plaza at Disney Studios, where we saw the movie. I can’t say anything about the movie quite yet, except…

This post is a recap of my compensated Ambassadorship for Bedtime Math Crazy 8s Club. All opinions expressed here are my own. Before I had kids, I was a teacher. As a teacher AND as a mother to young kids, one thing that I felt strongly about was that kids learned best when they…

Easter 2015: We had a blast with the Pennsylvania cousins this past weekend. Lots of candy, lots of giggles, lots of good food. On Easter Day, we drove over to the hill by the Hershey Gardens and had a fun (and windy) Easter Egg hunt. We missed having our oldest daughter there, since she’s…

How many times have you packaged up leftovers or some meat you bought on sale only to discover the bag in the freezer a few months later. It’s unrecognizable, unlabeled, and eventually ends up getting trashed. Today I have a guest post from a fellow blogger who has a great resource to share. She’s…
